The Lupus Damage Index Revision Program: Results From the Item Generation and Reduction Phases

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective A data‐driven and expert/patient consensus‐based project to develop a revised Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Damage Index (SDI) is under way supported by SLICC, ACR, and the Lupus Foundation of America. Our objective is to report the item generation and reduction phase results

Egg donors’ attitudes toward identifiability, offspring information, and genetic testing

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
Background Research on egg donors’ perspectives regarding identifiability, donor-conceived offspring, and genetic testing remains limited, as most studies have focused on sperm donors.

The legacy of sperm banking: how fertility monitoring and disposal of sperm are linked with views of cancer treatment [PDF]

, 2011
Background: sperm banking is recommended for all men before cancer treatment, which carries a risk of long-term gonadal damage. However, relatively few men take up the offer.

Microneedles Mediated Delivery of Nanodiamonds for Quantum Sensing of Free Radicals in Skin Tissue

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fluorescent nanodiamonds are nanoscale sensors capable of monitoring cellular stress responses. However, to function effectively, they must be delivered into cells or tissues. Here, we demonstrate their application in the skin by developing a dissolvable microneedle platform that dissolves after skin insertion, enabling the delivery of nanodiamonds ...

PIWIs Regulate Spermatogonia Self-Renewal and Differentiation by Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Eriocheir sinensis

Biology
The roles of PIWI in mammalian spermatogenesis have been well-studied but are largely unknown in invertebrates such as the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), which produces non-flagellar sperm.

Long-Term Follow Up of the Erectile Function of Testicular Cancer Survivors

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The diagnosis of testicular cancer (TC) can have a considerable and persistent impact on a patient's sexuality, especially given its location. The high prevalence of TC in young adults, and the good prognosis, explain the great interest in sexual ...

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these
